The word "suede" originates from the French phrase "gants de Suède," meaning "gloves from Sweden." It entered English in the late 19th century, referring to the soft leather traditionally used in Swedish gloves. Over time, the term generalized to describe any similarly textured leather, regardless of origin. The word retains its French spelling but lost the geographic connection in modern usage.
